Most software I've seen does ask users to whitelist their app in any anti-virus software the user has.

I don't think LC could ask for exclusions for any app it builds, it's a development platform. Anyone could take the free version, write some malware, and distribute it. That would be like asking AV software to exclude any app written in Java.

The responsibility would probably be on you, the app developer, to get an exclusion for your particular app. I don't know much about how Defender works, but getting a signing certificate from MS may be one way to legitimize the app.

Hi folks, I'd like to know if there is any chance that the issues with
windows defender interfering in the normal operation of the LiveCode engine
is something that can and will be looked at?

Is there any communication between Microsoft and Livecode inc?

Is there any hope that we won't have to put an * beside on our application
requirements?

Its just not an acceptable workaround to ask customers to disable windows
defender.

The day Kevin was here last year for the develop yourself videos I demoed
my stack to Chris, but not before the anti-virus (some lesser known
security software) totally attacked my standalone stack.

Are there any other experiences you've had with AV software attacking LC
stacks?

Thanks,

Tom
